[AJD] AR update

[Tommy Wilson]

Dean,
         That's my plan. Tonight I'll take out the filter and put in some 
diesel. Where is the best place to put a bar for breaking it loose? I don't 
want to mess something else up. My wife can pull me around to slosh the 
diesel around, but first I still have to resolve the break issue! A few 
days of good soaking until then will be good for it.....TW
